Sports Teams Shine Ahead of Showdown Series
Our Sun Devil varsity sports teams hope to all carry winning streaks into Tuesday’s Winter Showdown Series vs. Colorado Academy. The boys basketball team has cruised in its last three contests and now sits at 14-3 on the season as the No. 1-ranked team in the state in Class 4A. The Sun Devils will look to make it four wins in a row when they take on the No. 14-ranked Mustangs Tuesday, February 4 at 4:30 p.m. in DU’s Hamilton Gymnasium.
Girls basketball will head into its matchup against CA—Tuesday at 6 p.m. in Hamilton Gym—fresh off a 50-point victory over Stargate this week. Kent Denver is now 7-10 and ranked No. 15 in Class 4A. Colorado Academy is ranked No. 18.
The ice hockey matchup—which concludes the Winter Showdown Series Tuesday at 8 p.m. in Magness Arena—looks to feature two top-10 teams in Class 4A.

They will play home games against Woodland Park on Friday, January 31 at 6 p.m. and Mullen on Saturday, February 1 at 8 p.m.
